Rainbow Six Siege’s latest update is here, and servers will be down for a period of maintenance. Here are the Rainbow Six Siege Y6S3.1 update patch notes.

Rainbow Six Siege’s latest update, Operation Crystal Guard, has only just launched, but there’s always work to be done for Ubisoft when balancing and tweaking its long-running tactical shooter.

With that in mind, players can expect a period of server maintenance while the latest patch, 3.1, is applied on all platforms.

According to the game’s official Twitter account, fans can expect to be locked out at the following times while the update is rolled out – with around 30 minutes of downtime for each.

  • PC: 9AM ET / 1PM UTC
  • Xbox: 10AM ET / 2PM UTC
  • PlayStation: 11AM ET / 3PM UTC

Without further ado, then, here are the Rainbow Six Siege Y6S3.1 update patch notes.
